Not One of Us
He is not one of us.
To the outside, yes,
even distinguished, but
we can't paper it o-
ver. We can be nice:
nothing lost there. And thus
praise an admirable record.
But our final accolade proves
financial, and he can
never be promoted.
Out of the question.
Like Sisyphus then,
hustling that boulder
up the incline only to
feel it inch back. Camus
says he's happy in
just the task, truly,
let us pray so.
